The description reads: Every now and then a specific character type is needed. if you're in the market for such a character- to be portrayed by another writer, post an add here.

I think the description explains it well. To clarify, this is not about posting requests for joint posts or collaborations ( that's done in the Collaboration Arena). This is to fill a void a certain character type is needed- including well known canons ( from shows, books, etc ).

You could request someone write opposite you using an NPC specific to what you need OR ask someone to create and maintain a PC throughout one story or permanent.

Example- in Mecha Rising, (Psionics Millennium- Arid Centre) we had a cameo appearance by 2 characters from Law & Order SVU- one of them was Munch. We also saw appearances from certain well known Autobots. One also appears in Loose Ends.

Stargate Alpha's first post features a number of show canons from both BSG and SG1.
